Introducing Graceful - Issue #001

Written By Charlie Perry

Hi, and welcome to a new email series I’m calling ‘graceful’ — a weekly note from me for anyone looking for practical, real-world guidance on skin health, aging, and full-body wellness. Habits that support long-term wellbeing for those who want to look after themselves as we grow older; without the noise, hype, or quick-fix mentality.

I’m so glad you’re here!

A little about me: I’m Charlie Perry — an expert facialist with nearly a decade of focused education and experience. My work blends skin health and full-body treatments with a lifestyle approach that supports how you feel and function over time. I believe in healthy skin as a reflection of how well we care for the rest of ourselves — inside and out.

The urge to put my digital pen to paper a little more came after countless client conversations all echoing the same thing: less noise, more sense. In a world full of fast fixes, it’s hard to know what truly works and what’s just consumer bait. The health and wellness world—especially skincare—is loud, overwhelming, and exhausting to navigate. Somehow, simplicity has become radical and even less desirable, particularly on social media.

This space is also where I’ll share what I’m doing each week — balancing skincare, wellbeing, and ‘self-care’ as a busy mother of two and business owner;  what’s practical and sustainable amid the real (chaotic) demands of life.

A Fresh Take;

So while this might be framed as my fresh take, the truth is — most of what we should be focusing on isn’t new at all. It’s rooted in common sense, backed by science, and based on principles we’ve quietly known for years but have lost sight of in the rush for instant results.

This is a quieter, more grounded conversation. It’s not about reversing the clock or chasing youth — the way “aging gracefully” is so often framed. It’s about working with your body, supporting your skin, and moving through aging with intention, confidence, and a sense of ease.

What to expect:

Every Thursday, you’ll hear from me. Something simple, useful, and rooted in real-life wellness:

  • Practical tips on skin health, daily routines, and sustainable habits

  • Insight into how full-body wellbeing shapes how your skin looks and how you feel

  • Exploring non-invasive treatments to support the changes that come with maturing

  • Honest perspectives on trends — what’s worth your time and what isn’t

  • No anti-aging hype — just smart, steady approaches that support strength and longevity

  • Occasionally: expert insights from people I trust in skin, health, and wellness

Whether you want to support your skin, feel better in your body, or simply find a calmer, clearer approach to aging — I hope graceful can be a valuable resource for you.

Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to share more.

— Charlie
